When Jesus was baptized by Saint John the Baptist in the River Jordan, God the Father spoke saying, "This is my Son. I am pleased with Him."   At the same time the Holy Spirit was seen as a white dove that landed on Jesus.   This day is called Epiphany Day or Theophany, which means "God has been shown to us."  Because Jesus blessed the waters when he was baptized in the River Jordan, water is blessed in our Church Services for Epiphany for us to drink and to bless our homes.
